THE electorate of Riverstone has secured $267,280 in funding for six projects through the NSW Government’s 2023 Community Building Partnership Program.

“This is fantastic news for Riverstone. This grassroots funding will directly help create a more vibrant and inclusive local community with positive social outcomes. I congratulate all the organisations that were successful in their application and look forward to seeing how these projects make a real difference for community groups in the area,” Mr Kirby said.
